We believe that throwing an epic party should be fun AND simple. That’s why our event packages include 1 – 2.5 hours of throwing depending on your group size, flexible food options and private space to fit your party’s needs. Trophies and streetwear are available as add-ons for an even more personal touch. View our event guide.

Each venue offers the best facilities for people of all abilities to compete and have fun. Our axe throwing ‘arenas’ are similar to a cross between a batting cage and bowling alley, with private space for groups of any size, and a music selection that makes every visit amazing.

Spectators of all ages are welcome and only charged a fee if they decide to throw an axe. Minimum age of 16 years old to throw.

Welcome to Our Backyard

BATL, The Backyard Axe Throwing League, was created in our founder, Matt Wilson’s backyard in 2006. What began as a personal passion sparked by a camping trip soon spread through word of mouth in Toronto, and today over 1 million people have experienced the thrill of throwing axes at one of BATL’s indoor venues.
